Tell Coca-Cola to Stop Stealing Drinking Water from Local Communities!
http://www.corpwatchindia.org
Coca-Cola's factory in Plachimada, Kerala, has sucked the local aquifers dry.
The water scarcity has hit the local Adivasi and Dalit community the hardest.
On 22 April, faced with the prospect of a summer without water, the
indigenous peoples and the Dalits began an indefinite strike outside the
factory gates demanding its closure.
On June 9th, the police arrested 130 peaceful protestors, including 30 women
and 9 children (mostly infants). Support the people of Plachimada by sending
a free fax to the CEO of Coca-Cola and tell him that is unpardonable to steal
drinking water, and demand that he shut down the Plachimada plant now!
